The story of a photographer
Hi, I'm Kelsey! I was born and raised in the Chicagoland area, went to college and lived in Michigan for about 10 years, and now have been in the Charlotte area with my husband and my favorite fur pup, Micah for 4 years! I have been doing photography for roughly 5 years and am excited to continue growing in my craft with you!
I'm so glad you're here! As a photographer, I love bringing your story to life. And I can't wait to get to know you.

She communicates very effectively & is willing to try any idea you offer. Looking over our full wedding album had me in tears because her pictures captured the magic of the day perfectly & I felt like I was reliving the best day of my life all over again. I highly recommend Kelsey & am so impressed with her work!”

“Kelsey is exceptional. I can also attest to her professionalism & craft of what goes on behind the lens. I am so lucky to have stumbled across her. I scheduled a boudoir shoot and she made me feel comfortable & confident. I was especially pleased with Kelsey on our wedding day when she stepped into a managing role between her & our videographer and helped the day run smoothly. I felt from our initial conversation we could trust her with our important day. I highly recommend her!”

Testimonials
Toni & Phil Family
“Wow!! Kelsey was amazing! She is a great communicator before the session, was punctual, amazingly patient with the kids (and adults), and a true professional! She made sure we captured everything we wanted and had wonderful ideas to make it even more special. It was chilly that morning but she had the great idea to have the kids play tag to warm up and burn off some wiggles. I’m blown away by what she captured! I’ll never be able to fully express how much these pictures mean to us❤️”

“My experience was the best! My graduation pictures were my first professional photo session and it will definitely not be my last! Kelsey has earned herself a loyal, repeat customer! She was great at posing and provided helpful suggestions to ensure my pictures came out perfect. And they absolutely did! And my favorite part was getting to incorporated my fur baby!”
Testimonials
Demarest Family
“Kelsey was so good with my two rambunctious little boys. She didn’t force them to pose for shot after shot. She told them to run and made the photo shoot so playful that she was able to capture genuine smiles (which is not easy with my guys). It felt very laid back and I loved how she kept saying “Do what feels natural.” The results captured each person’s personality authentically. My favorite part was the sounds of my boys laughing and having fun.”
